So, given the realistic timescale, I had the luxury of traveling around and visiting taverns. Let's just say, I was a little bored one Oblivion day, and looking for some comedy. So I saved and closed the game, set it up to open in a smaller window, and popped up my list of NPC form IDs for summoning via the console on the side.

I found myself a nice tavern in Leyawiin (I think it was Leyawiin? I don't even remember lol), locked the doors via the console, so no one comes in, no one goes out. With tweaks to their HP (giving them each 65535 hp, though you really can give them more than that), I started a tavern brawl, as seen below:


At first it was just me and the innkeeper punching each other, while the other NPCs just watched in horror. That alone was already funny. But I felt it would be funnier if somebody else knocked the innkeeper at the back of the head while we were fighting, like you often see in mindless bar fights in movies. So I popped in a few more NPCs. Random ones. As you see in the image, there's three Argonians, there's a Fallen Knight of the Thorn, a Genghis (never even run into one in the game yet), and a bandit. The innkeeper might be one of the Argonians. The bald dude on the right and the other Argonians were probably the others in the bar when it started.

So anyway, the NPCs started rumbling, and I had nobody to fight, suddenly. So I stood back and took that screenshot, laughing along the way. Though I did feel rather lonely since they completely ignored me.

So I decided it's time to add more NPCs!

Into the fray, I tossed in a nun (a Sister Phebe Jeanard; top middle), another bandit and some random NPC (both not seen in this screenshot, or any other screenshot). It was pretty chaotic, and I regret not taking more screenshots, especially in flying camera mode.

So finally in the chaos, whilst I still laughed, I decided to toss in a guard. Surely, a man of the law could break up this insanity!

(Unfortunately I had no screenshot of after I summoned him.)

Instead of bringing peace to this insane tavern, the guard jumped right in and started attacking the nun. Of all the people lol. After about 20 minutes of me watching the whole mess, sitting back, I checked on their HPs, and nobody even had any HP lower than 55,000 yet. Wow they did slow damage lol. I guess they were more in it for the thrill of the fight rather than just putting their enemies down.

So yeah, after that big brawl, I reloaded and went about my way content.

Several years ago, an insanely popular game called Morrowind hit the markets, and pretty much everybody I knew that was into PC games, especially RPGs, was raving about it, except me. I never got to play it. I didn't even have a computer good enough (at the time) to play it.

Suddenly I find myself with the new Elder Scrolls game called Oblivion. And I can safely say that I really missed out. Oblivion is so much fun, and yet some people say that Morrowind was better in some aspects. Though I don't intend on playing Morrowind soon, I'm still enjoying myself in Oblivion. This is a true open-ended RPG, and especially with the addition of the right mods, you can do almost anything you want.

I can't explain too much of what makes it fun, except that it's pretty much a fantasy world where you can do stuff you wouldn't dare or are otherwise impossible in real life. Want to go into a dark, watery cave and fight goblins? Go ahead. Want to run into a pack of bandits on a dark forest trail and single-handedly take them all down? Sure! Want to go hunting for deer or bears with a bow and arrow? What's stopping you?

I'll probably be playing this game for a long time until I'm able to get a lifetime subscription to LotR Online or something.
